Baby's First Gift

HAHA so funny story...Baby O received his/her first toy today.  Apparently, while I was looking at amazon...I accidently clicked on a 2-day shipping 1-click button (it was on my phone)...and well... apparently I bought baby's first toy! LOL  Steve received the email stating that it was being processed and being shipped out...he was confused and showed it to me, I was confused as well.  We tried canceling it, but it wasn't allowing us to cancel it....so....umm...yeah...this is what we got our soon-to-be new Einsten! :)

    We got one of those for Julia when she was a baby, and both kids have thoroughly enjoyed it! Good oops! :-)

Amazed and Blessed

Wow, where to even begin!?  This weekend we did our garage sale, and wow what a great experience as we had signs EVERYWHERE to let people know that all funding was going towards our adoption.  We were asked several questions about what we were doing and why.  Great way to tell our story.  Yesterday a guy came over, stepped into the garage and said, "Well, I don't need anything, but I want to help towards this great cause..." and proceeded to drop some money into our donation jar!! :D  Then today lots of random things happened...one couple came, didn't buy anything, but asked lots of questions and then said, "Well, hey, I want to pray for you guys.  I want to pray that things will work out, for this baby that you get, and the process in general." I grabbed Steve and all 4 of prayed! How cool is that!!!  Then later today, I gave some left over hot dogs to my neighbor and a water (he's handicap now because of a job injury), and he knows what we are doing....

Our Match Meeting

I have had a few people ask us about our match meeting...so I figured I'd just write about it for all to read. :) Ok...so I had to go ALL FREAKIN' WEEK knowing that we were meeting with a birth mom on Friday. What in the world was I going to do for a week to keep my mind occupied!?!?!?  Oh man, Thursday morning came and I was so nervous, and it wasn't even the day of the meeting!!!  Lunch I had a hard time eating just because of the nerves. It's finally Friday...the day of the match meeting. I guess I ended up being eager beaver because we were there 30 minutes early! I thought it was at 9am, but it was at 9:30am...oh geez...oh well...better early than late right!? During the time I was sitting and thinking about how crazy this was that we were actually at this place...meeting a birth mom...a flood of emotion came over me...I started to cry but tried hard not to so my makeup wouldn't run...wouldn't look to good with 2 black eyes, right!? LOL Well birth m...

Surprising News

I have been calling around different agencies to see how much their covered costs are.  I have accured a lot of information over the past couple of weeks on how agencies run and what their pricing goes towards.  This is what I have found so far... Most agencies range between $20-30,000...about 75% of that is to market to the birthmothers as using adoption as a means for their child, instead of abortion.  Then on top of that are attorney fees (not always, but this seems to be on the general range)...and those will depend upon how long the case lasts, etc.  So that's probably another $5-10,000...then on top of that there are birthmother expensives.  I was told that if you don't help pay the expensives then it will take an even longer time to get matched.  So tack on another $5,000 or so....and this money is non-refundable if the birthmother changes her mind during or just after the baby is born (in most agencies). This doesn't include the home study which c...
